WINGLET BENIFIT

[ghandi52]

Hi !
My carrier is just fitting our planes with winglets, so i a newbe concerning winglets!
From a first flight ,I noticed some new sensations rolling the a/c ,it also likes floating a bit before touchdown.
I'll appreciate any documentation and comment for expert winglet flying pros!
thanks.

Having flown the -800 with and without winglets, the only difference I noticed in the handling was that it seemd a little more stable in and out of turns with the winglets. As for the flare, all my landings from the -200 right through most variants until the -800 were Boeing Training Manual landings!! Flare, what flare?

Hmm,I guess maybe I was a pax with you time ago....:} ..or was the FO doing the landing?...:cool:
Boeing training manuals may have changed since -200's.....They even discovered flare,you know?....
